CRSC's Site

Clinical Research Services Consultants, LLC (CRSC) provides educational materials to affiliates of its organizational subscribers, and to its individual subscribers, using websites and other forms of information exchange. 

ACCESS TO AND USE OF CRSC WEBSITES AND THEIR CONTENTS, AND TO OTHER CRSC MATERIALS, ARE SUBJECT TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AS WELL AS TO OUR PRIVACY AND COOKIE POLICY AND COPYRIGHT. PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY.

Subscribing organizations, their Affiliated Learners, and/or Independent Learners shall acquire no other rights in any CRSC services or materials unless specifically and expressly granted by CRSC in writing. All the intellectual property rights in the CRSC services and materials are owned by CRSC or its licensors. CRSC reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate account access and use of its services to any Subscribing Organization, any affiliates of a Subscribing Organization, or to any Independent Learner, for failure to follow the terms and conditions described in these Terms of Service. CRSC also reserves the right to pursue any remedy available to it by law or equity, including but not limited to all remedies and reporting afforded through the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, for failure to follow the terms and conditions described in these Terms of Service.

1. Account Eligibility

CRSC accounts are available to persons 18 years of age or older without restriction, subject to a valid affiliation with an active CRSC Subscriber Organization or a valid registration of an Independent Learner subscription.

Persons under 18 years of age must seek parental permission for creation of an account and subsequent use of the CRSC’s materials. CRSC accounts are not available to persons under 13 years of age. Persons creating CRSC accounts from its website or through organizational portals agree as a condition of use that they are: (a) 18 years of age or older; or (b) if under 18, have parental permission to access CRSC materials, and are over 13 years of age. Subscriber Organizations creating CRSC accounts are solely responsible for ensuring age and permission requirements for their Affiliated Learners.

CRSC offers accounts to two types of learners: Affiliated Learners and Independent Learners.

• “Affiliated Learners” are persons with an active employment, educational, or other affiliation with a Subscriber Organization, whose access to CRSC materials is based on a Subscriber Organization’s current (paid up) subscription. An “active affiliation” with a Subscriber Organization is defined as: (a) current employment as a full- or part-time employee of that organization, or affiliation in any other professional capacity, including affiliation as a volunteer; or (b) current enrollment as a full or part-time student at that organization, or in another trainee capacity; or (c) currently working on research that is funded, co-funded, or co-conducted by the Subscriber Organization. For purposes of clarity, membership in an association or organization, or any relationship with a commercial institutional review board or contract research organization that subscribes to CRSC, does not constitute an active affiliation with that Subscriber Organization. CRSC access cannot be offered by any Subscribing Organization as part of its paid or unpaid membership benefit or as part of its contracted services without express written approval from CRSC. Claiming an active affiliation with a Subscribing Organization to which one is not entitled may be considered fraud, and will result in disabling of all account credentials.
• “Site” shall mean a facility owned and/or operated by or actively affiliated with a Subscribing Organization where 30 or more employees, agents, or students of the organization (at the site) or the active affiliate will complete CRSC courses. Sites will require a separate paid subscription to the CRSC, either paid directly to CRSC as a Subscriber Organization or as a paid Site of the Subscriber Organization with which it is actively affiliated.
• “Independent Learners” are persons who have no active affiliation with a CRSC Subscriber Organization, or who wish to have access to materials that the organization(s) with which they are affiliated do(es) not provide under an organizational subscription.
• “Subscribing Organizations” are those organizations that obtain access to the CRSC on behalf of their employees, students, and other affiliates by purchasing a subscription.
• “Site Administrators” are persons designated by their Subscriber Organization to make determinations about the configuration of content access for and to access administrative information about their Affiliated Learners (such as reports of coursework completions). Site Administrators’ accounts have additional privileges for data access and reporting. Subscribing Organizations are expected to designate their Site Administrators appropriately and to keep those designations current.

2. Account Credentials and Access

The CRSC website contains “public” areas and contents that are accessible to all persons; and it contains areas that are “private,” which may be accessed only by valid, active CRSC account holders after login with assigned username and password credentials.

Usernames and passwords that authenticate your identity for access to CRSC accounts are of two types: (1) Issued by CRSC itself, known as “CRSC account credentials”; (2) Issued by CRSC Subscriber Organizations that allow their affiliated learners to use organization-assigned usernames and passwords for access to CRSC, known as “single-sign-on account credentials” or “SSO account credentials.” Persons using CRSC may have more than one set of username and password credentials to access the same account (e.g., one set issued by CRSC, and one or more set(s) issued by organization(s) with which the learner is affiliated that use single-sign-on).

3. Conduct of Affiliated and Independent Learners

CRSC and Subscribing Organizations take training requirements very seriously. CRSC training materials are designed to fulfill organizational policies and legal-regulatory mandates. Misuse of CRSC content can result in organizational responses that include disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or enrollment, reporting to funders, reporting to legal authorities, and legal action by CRSC and/or the organizations subscribing to its content.

All users of the CRSC website and its content should understand that CRSC keeps account activity logs, including computer IP addresses, time spent in each content area, number of quiz attempts and scores. See the CRSC Privacy and Cookie Policy, which governs collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information. Allegations of inappropriate use will be investigated, and the results may be reported to the organization(s) with which a learner is affiliated. Inappropriate use may result in immediate account suspension or termination.

Persons who use the CRSC website and its other educational content are expected to adhere to Learner Standards of Conduct, which include:

• Accessing only CRSC materials designated for the organization(s) with which the learner is appropriately affiliated, or for which the learner has created a valid Independent Learner registration by individual payment or other means. Knowing misrepresentation of affiliation or payment status is considered fraud.
• Maintaining only one CRSC account, unless granted permission for multiple accounts by an organization with which the learner is affiliated or by CRSC. The CRSC Help Desk can assist with merging duplicate accounts that were created by mistake.
• Not sharing CRSC account usernames and passwords. Use of a CRSC account by more than one person is not permitted.
• Promptly reporting to the CRSC Help Desk if it is suspected that a CRSC account has been compromised in any way.
• Not accessing (nor attempting to access) any service on the CRSC by any means other than as permitted in these Terms.
• Not renting, leasing, loaning, or selling access to the CRSC.
• Not accessing the CRSC to build a product using similar ideas, features, functions, interface, or graphics of the CRSC.
• Not circumventing, disabling, or otherwise interfering with any features of the CRSC in a manner that prevents, restricts, or limits the access of valid users.
• Not copying, sharing, or engaging in any other unauthorized manipulation of any CRSC or third party content.
• Not deleting the copyright or other proprietary rights notices on the CRSC materials and website.
• Completing all required quizzes and any other assessments without assistance, using only the learner’s own work.
• Not sharing CRSC course content on any website, via email, photocopying, or any other means, unless approved by the learner’s affiliated organization or by CRSC. Such sharing may be considered a copyright violation, regardless of intent.
• Not sharing course-related quiz questions or answers on any website, via email, photocopying, or any other means. Such sharing is considered cheating, regardless of intent.
• Not misrepresenting your identity or the identity of any other learner with respect to quiz completions or other learning activities.
• Not engaging in any other activities that would dishonestly improve the learner’s results, or improve or hurt the results of other learners.

Training records of learners may be reviewed by CRSC at any time. Training records of learners who have declared an affiliation with a CRSC Organizational Subscriber may be provided to that subscribing organization at any time. See the CRSC Privacy and Cookie Policy for additional information.

4. Conduct of Subscriber Organizations

Organizational subscribers to CRSC services are expected to adhere to Standards of Conduct, which include:

• Providing appropriate access to its own help information to supplement the contact lists and organizational instructions of the Subscriber Organization.
• Ensuring that organization-specific custom content produced by the Subscriber Organization that is hosted by CRSC is accurate, appropriate, and does not violate any copyright. Inaccurate, inappropriate, or copyright-infringing materials are subject to immediate removal.
